Wish It Was Easier To Tell The Difference Between Pain That Will Get Better If You Use The Body Part

wish it was easier to tell the difference between ‘pain that will get better if you use the body part’ and ‘pain that will get worse if you use the body part’ and ‘pain that is indifferent to you using the body part’ tbqh

I miss Thor and Loki. Someone please bring them back to me.

The way The Originals eventually made Rebekah's character be mainly all about motherhood was offputting. Tvdu has an story of making women be obssesed with being a parent to a child or making them be one, but they took that to another whole level with Rebekah.

The way she speaks of it - it's like more than her wanting to be a mother, it's needing to be one. After all, Rebekah was born in an age where women were seen as breeding mares and viking women were married extremely young, as early as twelve and as late as fifteen, I imagine she was being courted by the time she died or that she was getting ready to be thrown off to some man and be his wife, so it would make sense for her character to be dragging all that trauma once she turned, because other characters did too: Klaus dragged his parent's abuse his whole life, Elijah had the whole "red door" thing going on, Kol lost his magic and became bitter because of it, Finn was suicidal and etc. I mean, Rebekah probably grew up thinking that the only way to prove her value as a woman was to have a child and/or to have a husband.

Like, it would make sense and it would make her character more complex, instead of people just labeling her as "Rosalie 2.0" or "Barbie Klaus", but of course that would mean then that tvdu writers would have to actually be interested in their characters and we all know that isn't possible.

I've always wondered if Elena knew Damon raped Caroline. She knew they slept together, as she said it in season four, but it clearly seems she just thought it was that: sex, not rape.

I mean, I doubt Elena would break up with Damon over it (sadly) if she did/came to know about his sexual abuse because she forgave him for killing her own brother and in general the three shows were very adamant on pushing long-life friendships down to elevate toxic romances.

She did "Caroline jumped in bed with him" and it's just wrong, no matter how much you may dislike or like her character: if Elena had known about her being raped then her statement is just straight up disgusting.
